I have just recently changed occupations which has caused me to purchase a ute, more specifically an XR6 Turbo. I have always been a skyline fan and have never dreamt of owning any other car until this day. Both cars in standard form, the XR6 Turbo smashes the skyline all over the road. I have always hated fords and holdens, but the XR6 turbo really surprised me. A mate of mine has an XR6 Turbo that has been modified APS stage 3. This modification cost less than A$10000 and has produced 328rwkw. I have spent over $15000 on mods for the skyline and it has only produced a$297rwkw. More would be needed. As for the weight factor, the XR6 Turbo weighs 1694kg in a sedan form (i have the ute so a little lighter). The skyline on the other hand weighs 1532kg (remember this is a R32 so the lightest model and in 4wd). I am sorry to say and yes it breaks my heart but the XR6 Turbo has this debate hands down. Best way of deciding would be to have a brand new skyline (stopped making) with a single turbo, up against a brand new XR6 Turbo and either run both standard or whatever mod you do to one you must make to the other. This way the comparison remains the same.
The Falcon utes are actually about 30-50kg heavier than the sedans believe it or not. Other than that, it'd be the torque of the XR6T doing that, same as the 60nm extra a standard Falcon has over the standard Commodore despite the Falcon having the worse power/weight ratio, its the quicker of the duo
